I had my photos dine yesterday for my passport , one of those photobooth pictures
I looked DogRough I tell you Shock
In my defence I was the wring height , looking the wring way ( stool wasn't adjustable) I looked like there was shit on my shoe !

So today a diffferent photobooth and I put make up on.
I look like I should be allowed to trave without being arrested Grin

I put on some make-up !
What a difference . Did my eyebrows , curled and mascaraed my eyelashes and a smudge of liner .
Now I know I should really make a bit of effort so as not to scare people .
At work I wear a mask and hat ( fetching eh?)

My 50 Day Plan:

Colour my brows and lashes . I have the kit , I just need to apply it

I;ve had my hair cut recently and a line hiding fringe . I'm not doing colour but need to step up the conditioning

Wear more clothes that make me feel happy . On work days its leggings/top then scrubs . But when I;m not at wotk, more effort needed .
Even changing my earrings I've got lazy with.

Weightloss is a constant battle but I think I need to pull myself up by the bootstraps and get on with it .

C'mon, it's Not Too Late !
Those Advent Calenders will be put to good use in a few weeks . (Though I haven't bought one )

Anyone else got A List ?

Thankyou for this OP I need it.
I will work on my list and add it.

Barksmum12 · 07/11/2021 08:04

I’m in!

I’m about 10 day into Dermatica treatment.

I have a hair cut booked. I’ve been using wonder water. I thought it was rubbish until I gave the bottle a shake it’s definitely worth a try for a fiver.

My nails need attention.

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting since the end of August. I lost a few pounds and then relaxed a bit. I need to get back on it.

Llamallamadingdong · 07/11/2021 08:55

Count me in!

I have maaaaasively let myself go recently and it really shows.

My list:

  1. Take vitamin every day.
  2. Increase water intake.
  3. Lose a few pounds.
  4. Hand cream and cuticle oil every night before bed.
  5. Foot cream every night before bed.

I’ll leave the other maintenance out like shaving my legs regularly. Also need to book a haircut at some stage.

Hi! I'm up for some princessing!

I'm mainly going to focus on better food, exercise and wearing outfits rather than whatever I can grab!

I started invisalign on Friday,so hoping this will stop my snacking.

pinkcattydude · 07/11/2021 09:26

I need to actually use the bleach I got for my teeth I keep putting it off, cos I’m too tired when I go to bed. Back on the diet tomorrow and back to exercise had 2 weeks off and I dread to think how much damage I’ve caused in that time. So back on it.

Tinitiny · 08/11/2021 05:30

Oooooh princessing thread, yay.
Same as above, remember the vitamins, book in nail and eyebrow appointment and remember to moisture post-shower (lazy and now with dry skin, thank you central heating).

lisam78 · 08/11/2021 13:14

I really need this. I'll try to write write more detailed list later, but to start, I need to:

  1. Lose the weight! Lost over a stone lockdown 1, put it all on again lockdown 2 :(
  2. Drink more water (tea/coffee don't count)
  3. Wax upper lip.
notacooldad · 08/11/2021 13:26

I'm reawaking after my covid hell from the last 2 months.
I had my hair highlighted and trimmed but it is greasy after ever wash. Thats annoying me.
Eyebrows have been threaded but need to get them dyed.
Need a pedicure and gel nails doing. I've not had it done for a few months.
I'd last all my motivation and fitness and despite being I'll have out weight in due to inactivity and being home alone. I've pencilled in some swimming sessions and some gym sessions. I'm not ready for Hiit yet.
I would like some new clothes but I'm leaving it for now.

I am thinking of botox for my 11 lines. Its killing me being on zoom or teams!!
I'm up foreseeing everyone elses suggestions.

goose1964 · 08/11/2021 13:34

Lisam why don't tea and coffee vcount. They're not diuretic enough to count.

I'm up foreseeing everyone elses suggestions

I think I'm on this lonely road alone here Xmas Grin

I have ordered some Alpha H , not that it'll do much Pre-Christmas by the time it arrives but maybe after ?

I've got various things to use up before then.

Trolltrotters · 14/12/2021 07:38

Yes! Christmas has crept up in me. Week five of the winter covfaux bugs but have still floored us.

I intend to:

  1. get more sleep - bad, bad shadows
  2. dye eyebrows that have virtually disappeared
  3. look after my hands. I wanted to do Christmas nails but I'm a vaccinator so all the hand washing and ramping up of boosters means I'll have a busy Christmas ~~and no gingerbread prints~~
  4. this is a biggy for me - Botox booked for Thursday Blush

I do love the inspiration and motivation of these princessing threads. Start the new year on the front footXmas Grin

Carriemac · 14/12/2021 08:09

I need this ! I've booked hair and chiropodist end going for my profilo today. Need to lose three stone and am so unmotivated .

HereticFanjo · 14/12/2021 08:25

Eek , my face is reacting to something , I have at the grand age of 55 got a couple of spots Xmas Shock

I think it;s the serum (Aldi bargain) its the CBD one . I'll keep it for my neck , it has a lovely silky texture but maybe too oily for my face skin?

Deathraystare · 16/12/2021 14:57

I should be doing a lot! I have loads of face masks etc. I have noticed that the (covid) face masks are making my face sore now. I blamed it on my cold cream!

After Christmas I promise (yeah right) there will be a great difference in my appearance. I will eat better. slim down, sort my skin out, be on top of my hair (dyeing away the grey). I am trying to dress smarter to.

Carriemac · 17/12/2021 08:29

I'm up for a new year new me makeover!

Aderyn21 · 17/12/2021 12:03

I've done quite well this year with the princessing. Been doing low carb bootcamp so have shifted some weight still fat though, been making an effort to do my nails and moisturise, wear make up, etc. Started HRT which helps. Exercise could do with upping a bit but am definitely in a better place than I was a few months ago.
Hope all of you are fully princessed too!

BasilLeaf · 17/12/2021 13:28

I’m going to have to do an Emergency 14 Day Princessing Thing. Feel and look exhausted. Will come back with a list

BasilLeaf · 17/12/2021 13:29

Fuck!!! Seven days! See?! I’m so knackered I don’t even know what day it is!!!
